European Destinations on the Road Less Traveled

By: Liz Patterson

We have all heard Robert Frost’s poem about the road less traveled, and how by taking it, it made all the difference in his life. Well, Europe is full of less traveled destinations that are just as wonderful as the more popular sites like Paris, London, and Rome. So take a look at a few of these great spots and decide to take the road less traveled on your next trip.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Here in the country’s capital city of Reykjavik, you will find a variety of wonderful opportunities and experiences. The main appeal of a vacation to Reykjavik lies in the opportunities to enjoy the serenity and beauty of nature. Just a fifteen-minute drive outside of the city you will find yourself in a whole new world of exquisite and captivating charm. Explore green meadows, frothy geysers, geothermal hot springs, fantastic glaciers, cool mountain streams, and bird sanctuaries. Yet the city itself is also a treat. No matter how large Reykjavik grows, it still retains its welcoming, safe, clean, and enchanting atmosphere. Sample delicious food in one of the many gourmet restaurants this city offers, or stroll through the streets lined by bright houses. The city is made for walking and is a delightful place to explore. But just because Reykjavik seems to be a cozy, overgrown village, it boasts every modern convenience of most sophisticated cities.

Berlin, Germany

With fascinating historical sights, a hearty and delicious cuisine, and plenty of opportunities for fun, Berlin is a great travel destination that is growing in popularity. Not considered a very touristy spot until recently, Berlin nevertheless has much to offer to any traveler. A variety of fun festivals and celebrations are held in this city, the most notable being the Berlinale, a world-wide film festival that movie-enthusiasts will love. As for sights with historical significance, there are the Brandenburg Gate and Memorial Church. The impressive Brandenburg Gate is perhaps Berlin’s most popular and well-known landmark. This splendid gate marked a troubled no-man’s-land until it was reopened after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Now it stands as a stirring monument in celebration of a division that has been conquered. Whether you love history, seeing incredible monuments, tasting good food, kicking back and relaxing, or laughing and celebrating at festivals, you are sure to have the time of your life in Berlin.

Bellinzona, Switzerland

In the little-known city of Bellinzona, there are three awe-inspiring castles that guarded the gateway to Italy and the entrance to the Alps. Dating back to as early as the 1st century BC, the main structure, Castlegrande, is a wondrous sight to see. Vast, imposing, and grand, it will steal your breath away. The other two castles located in Bellinzona are the Castello di Montebello and the Castello di Sasso Corbaro. Both are equally impressive and fascinating to see and explore. If you have a love for history, architecture, art, or sightseeing, you will not want to miss this extraordinary opportunity in Switzerland. Bellinzona also boasts charming streets lined by cafés, shops, and wonderful restaurants. Enjoy both Swiss and Italian culture in this amazing city.

So this year, instead of seeing the usual spots like London or Paris, go somewhere different and seize the opportunity to take the road less traveled. It will “make all the difference,” whether you choose Reykjavik, Berlin, or Bellinzona.
